Recombinant Human Interleukin 1, Alpha, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: IL1A-134H
• Product Overview: Recombinant IL-1a protein was expressed inE.coliand purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. MW = 22.4kDa (197aa).

Specification

• Cat. No.: IL1A-134H
• Description: IL-1 consists of two distinct forms, IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta which perform the same functions but are distinct proteins.
